Will tennis help me to stay in shape for track?

yes it will, and it will keep you on your toes, ready to move. but i also suggest running/jogging in addition to tennis. that way you're actually running more, as you do in track.

Why do people get ticked if someone sighns them up for an IM prank bot?

some people just get really frustrated with things like that...

they probably don't find it as fun as you do since you were the one pranking them.

okay im overweight and i really need to start losing weight. i mean i look at my self and i am definetly not happy for letting myself get out of shape. so i know a lot of exercises i can do but what i need help from you guys is with the foods. what are some good foods for losing weight. ya know like foods i can eat and arent bad for you. please help and i will rate. thank you!

fruits, veggies, pastas, wheat thins, saltine crackers. oh...and meat without the fat. like...chicken! chicken's great and i suggest having it grilled and then cut up into a salad with italian dressing. it's really good!

eat things with complex carbs so that you can burn them off instead of pack them on. pasta and saltines have those...so go for it and just exercise to burn them off. the fruits have natural sugars that work with your body, so those kinds of sugars are fine.

drink water. lots and lots of water. stay away from soda and fruit juices. stick to water & milk. it'll keep you hydrated while exercising and it won't pack on carbs and fat like the soda and fruit juice.

portion control...don't over indulge just because it's healthy food. savor the flavor!

hope i helped & if you need anything else, drop one in my inbox!

okay i have recently asked a question to see if i was depressed. i told you how i felt and everyone who answered said that i was definetly depressed and that i should get help. but my question is, if your going through depression can you feel fine somedays but most of the time empty. so i guess what im trying to say is when going through depression do you still have some good days?

i think so, but as most people say, i am not a doctor.

i would seriously suggest going to your family doctor. he/she would be a big help in this situation, more than anything else.

hope i helped!

what are some effective ways to lose weight in a short amount of time? what are some fairly easy ways to lose weight? i'm really excited about my family's summer vacation, and i'd really love to get fit, and just drop a couple pounds.
tell me what would usually work for you, or just what you think would work.
thank you!

start eating healthier foods....pasta, veggies, fruits...that way, you have carbs you burn off, not put on. and drink water. lots of water. and stay away from the fruit juice and such.

also, get oiutside. exercise. do crunches, walk around the block a few times a day, better off, run around the block more than a few times a day. walk to the park with a friend. get a bunch of friends together to play a soccer game or something at a local school.

hope i helped!! & if you need anything else, drop one in my inbox!

How long does it usually take to tan? I`m have fairly pale skin and I do burn, but I tan also. If I stay out for about an hour, nothing happens, but if I stay out for much longer I get burned!?

i say buy some coppertone oil with spf 4
it'll help you tan, but keep you form burning more than you normally would

stay outside for a few hours, it may take a few days, but it does work. ((from experience))

hope i helped!

what can happen if you are depressed and don't get help? (like if you dont go and see a doctor or get medicine)



the depression can get worse, you can start doing things you wouldnt normally do, get into bad things, start acting irrationally, have thoughts of suicide.

the other day in gym, we were playing softball. i'm not very athletically inclined, if you know what i mean. i was up to bat and i like hit the ball and i screamed. my gym teacher goes 'i think she has issues' and she said this in front of the whole class. i asked her what she meant and she goes 'well when ever you get pressured or have the spotlight on you, you scream and flail your arms around, that's just one of your issues.' i didn't really think anything of this, but now the more taht i think about it, it is making me upset.

is this an appropriate thing to say to me [a 13 year old] ?


and i'm thinking of having my mom call her, would this be a good idea.

yes, you can have her mom call her. or your principal. it's inappropriate for teachers to say those kinds of things. and she'll probably get a warning and teachers can also get suspenion if she does it again.

take it to your mom. take a stand!!

hope i helped & good luck!

ok so i'm going on a few college visits in a while, and i invited two friends. the problem is that my mom said we don't really have enough room in the car for both but i've already invited them. so should i tell them that or subtly imply it or what??

well...i say that you tell both of them that they cant come. that way one wont find out and flip out and get mad at you for picking one over the other. tell them you're really sorry and go out with them before/after the trip to make it up.

hope i helped!

Ok there is this guy I like, lets call him Mike. So Mike is a year older than me (I am 15). So last week, he asked me if I wanted to go to the movies. We ended up going Friday with some of my friends and in the beginning I felt bad because I was kind of ignoring him. I was really like..scared which was why I was ignoring him (I know, it doesn't make any sense)
After the movie was over and everyone left but the both of us, we talked for a bit until my dad came to get me.
So then a day later, Sunday we talked for a little.
Then since he mentioned the day we were at the movies about just the two of us going next time, I asked him online and he was all like "It sounds like fun" and then said Wednesday would be the best and he hasnt brought it up since then.
It just seems like hes lost interest in me because a couple of days ago he would IM me as soon as I got online. He doesn't do that anymore and he barely talks to me. I asked him why he doesn't call me and he said its because his cell is broken or something. I don't know what I should do anymore. Any suggestions?

guys are like this at this age for some reason...it's like they jump between people and cant decide what they want to do.

the same thing happened to me, and it's really annoying...i know the feeling. and you're probably confused and i can't tell you whether his cell phone is broken or not, but it seems like he's trying to avoid you.

i say just try and lay off him for now, and see what happens. like...try to not talk to him for a while, and then after a day or two, try talking to him again, but as a friend, not asking why he doesnt call and such.

hope i helped!! ((&& keep me updated!!))

I wanna wear thongs but i'm like afraid what my mom would say. not really afraid but idunno how to ask her! because i remember one time she told me like she was christmas shopping with my grandma lol and they were buying me underwear? lol yeah nd my gramdma picked up a thong [by accident] and my mom was all freaking out like its a thong!!.. i mean i'm 14 i'm going into high school. but i dunno how she'd react if i told her. and i dont know how to tell her. soo do you have any ideas??? and like i was thinking about going to the mall with my friends and buying one without her knowing but that would be a problem because my best friends dont wear them and like i don't do the wash! l0l yeahh =\ so how should i bring it up??

my mom found out when i was 13 and she didnt really care

you can either go with your friends, and even if they don't wear them, they're most likely going to start sooner or later, so why not now?

but if you want to go with your mom, ask her to take you shopping and bring it up on the way to the store/mall. and then if she like flips out about it, which she shouldnt, come up with an excuse like "i don't want my underwear line showing" or something along those lines.

i'm pretty sure she'll be fine with it.

I have AIM Triton, and when I try downloading buddy icons, it merely says 'You have clicked a hyperlink your client doesn't support.' What is that supposed to mean, and is there anything I can do so I can start downloading icons again?

i had the same problem. it's really simple...just do this:
just sign on to the old version of AIM and upload your buddy icon there, then sign on AIM triton, sign of the original version of AIM and you're buddy icon will be on AIM triton.

Well how to make a long story short? OK first.. Yesterday was my boyfriend’s birthday, all his friends including me and my best friend went out for drinks to celebrate with him. When my best friend (it’s a girl) left for a different club, I went after her, because she was a bit tipsy and I didn’t want her to be on her own.
Then when my boyfriend arrived, he came up to me and just told me that I picked my friend over him and that it is over (he stated it MUCH worse). Yeah I know it was his Birthday, but he was busy with his friends. Should I just let it go? I mean how insecure can someone be if they are jealous of you friend???

i say that you should tell him why you went after your friend.

and then apologize and make it up to him in a special way. he should like that.

What should you do if you have had a steady boyfriend for about 7 months and really like him, but this new guy came along and is interested in you and you kind of like him too? Should you break up with the one and go for the other and see how it goes? or what?
Age- 16
Gender- Female

usually i would say follow your heart, but if you love him (the boy you're with), and i mean REALLY love him, this is what i have to say:

never leave the one you love for the one you like because the one you like will leave you for the one they like
